Graves’ disease is the high prevalent autoimmune disorder in U.S After Hashimoto thyroiditis. In 2016, as per research study of PREGO (presentation of Graves orbitopathy), incidence of Graves’ orbitopathy in Europe was 10-30/10,000 human annually. However, severity and the incidence of the Graves’ disease in Europe was observed to decline to 2.10/10,000/year.
